The grant will fund the
construction of 643 rental units
across nine developments in
other cities and towns; this development
at 571 Revere St. is
a 51-unit mixed-income project.
Construction is scheduled
to start in July 2019 with the
building expected to open in

Mares.
“It will create 51 new one,

Schools Athletic Dept. to switch
back to GBL this summer
By Tara Vocino
ffective July 1, the Athletic
Department of the Revere
Public Schools will return to the
Greater Boston League (GBL) after
being in the Northeastern
Conference (NEC) since 2005.
Regional principals voted
11-1 to make the switch at a
conference meeting at Beverly
High School on Friday morning.
According to Athletic Director
Frank Shea, four schools
similar in size and competitiveness
were voted out of the NEC
last month, which contributed
to the switch. However, because
football starts late in the
year, that sport will remain in
the NEC for two seasons, according
to Shea.
“We don’t have any ill feelings
against the Northeastern Conference,”
Shea said. “It’s been a
great 14 years.”
Prior to making the move to
the NEC, Revere Athletics had
been in the GBL for more than
75 years, according to Shea.
Affecting 25 varsity teams,
Shea explained, the switch will
be a learning curve and it won’t
be perfect at first. But there are
advantages. Students will return
to school an hour earlier from
away games and won’t have to
travel as much to communities
such as Gloucester, Beverly, Marblehead
and Swampscott, with
the exception of some sports.
Shea went on to say that
Revere athletes will only play
twice against each school
and will have to find other
schools in the league to compete
against.
“Championships won’t mean
as much since the Northeastern
Conference is a big league,” Shea
said. “Most of our schedule was
already set.”

Revere resident to run Boston Marathon for father and son
For additional information,

is a luxury I have, I get the training
done.”

helps push her through
race day.

ess than one year after giving
birth to her son, Adrian,
Revere resident Amy Bell will
be running in the 123rd Boston
Marathon. She will also be
running in memory of her father,
Jim, who passed away
form bladder cancer in February
2001.
Bell has raised approximately
$4,000 to benefit the 2019 Pediatric
Hematology Oncology
Team at Massachusetts General
Hospital (MGH).
“This time will be very meaningful
to me, as I will be seven
months postpartum and this is
a personal goal that I have set for
myself,” Bell said. “In 2001, I lost
my dad to cancer, and during
his battle, he spent time at MGH
and received excellent care.”
She said she also received
great health care when Adrian
was born at MGH. Bell said she is
running for those who can’t run
and to raise money for families
living with cancer. She is hopeful
that one day, the world will
be cancer-free.
Her fourth marathon – Bell
has also run in the New York and
Berlin Marathons. She ran Boston
for the first time in 2015 and
finished with a time of 4:07:29.
However, she said this could be
a slower year.
“Realistically, this year, I anticipate
finishing in five or more
hours,” Bell said. “Being almost
six months postpartum, my
training has been less intense

than in marathons past.”
She said that although one
would think running is the hardest
part, for her, it’s the training.
Due to her schedule, Bell said,
she trains on her own rather
than with a personal trainer. She
said she runs in Newton before
work and along Revere Beach
with cross training in-between.
Bell follows a training plan that
was created by New York Runner,
a nonprofit organization
that customizes training based
on goals, expectations and
training time.
“Motivating to train is the
hardest part, especially with a
five-month-old,” Bell said. “But

league structure in the eightteam
North Atlantic Conference
of the NPSL Northeast
Region and will call Harry
Della Russo Stadium in Revere
home for the upcoming
season. The nearby city
of Medford, where the Lions
have strong ties to the local
youth soccer community, will
also host two regular-season
matches, at Hormel Stadium.
“We are so excited to provide
our loyal fans with matches
in both Revere and Medford,”
said Boston City FC Managing
Director Craig Tornberg.
“Performing in these venues
will provide our supporters
with quality facilities and great
access to our club … We start
a fresh NPSL season with great
optimism and believe that local
soccer fans will continue to
enjoy the entertainment we
offer and the highest level of
soccer available in this area at
a very affordable price.”
Season tickets for seven
NPSL home matches and one
special event are now available
at www.BostonCityFC.

fourth straight season.
The Lions’ home matches
will kick off at Harry Della Russo

be announced shortly. Boston
City FC will hold tryouts in Revere
on Sunday, March 17, and

Boston City FC has established
a strong connection
with the city of Revere, having
played one match previously
at Harry Della Russo Stadium
in the U.S. Open Cup in 2017.
Each preseason, the Lions
have trained on the famous
Revere Beach to increase fitness
levels before the campaign
kicks off.

Daylight Savings Time – check your alarms, too
ed smoke alarms to have 10he
state fire marshal issues
a reminder that there’s
more to this weekend than just
changing clocks.
Daylight Savings Time begins
this weekend. Everyone
needs to set their clocks forward
an hour before they go
to bed tomorrow night (Saturday,
March 9), as the time
switch takes place officially at
2 a.m. on Sunday.
But State Fire Marshal Peter
Ostroskey urges homeowners
and apartment tenants that it’s
also time to take care of some
potentially life-saving matters.
“This weekend as you change
your clocks, check your alarms,”
Ostroskey said in a statement
issued by his office this week.
“Working smoke and carbon
monoxide alarms can save
your life. Replace aging alarms,
and unless they have a 10-year
sealed battery, replace the alkaline
batteries now,” the state
fire marshal said.
Replace aging
smoke alarms
“Smoke alarms, like other
household appliances, don’t
last forever,” said Chief Timothy
J. Grenno, president of the
Fire Chiefs’ Association of Massachusetts,
“Every 10 years the
entire alarm needs to be replaced,
not just the batteries,”
he added.

year, sealed, non-replaceable,
non-rechargeable batteries
in older one- and two-family
homes.
Manufacturers generally
recommend smoke alarms be
replaced after 10 years and
carbon monoxide alarms after
five to seven years. Newer
models with 10-year sealed
batteries are designed to last
longer and do not require replacement
batteries.
“Fire officials see too many
disabled smoke alarms in fires
when people really needed
them to work … We hope
that if smoke alarms are easier
to maintain, people won’t
be tempted to disable them,”
Chief Grenno said.
Time is your enemy in a fire
“Time is your enemy in a fire,
and working smoke alarms
give you precious time to use
your home escape plan before
poisonous gases and
heat make escape impossible,”
Ostroskey said. “Remember:
Smoke alarms are a sound
you can live with.”
In the average house fire,
there are only one to three
minutes to escape after the
smoke alarm sounds.
“No one expects to be a victim
of a fire, but the best way
to survive one that does occur
is to have working smoke
alarms,” Grenno said.
“Take a few minutes to protect
those you love by changing
the batteries in your smoke
alarms this weekend. Then
take a step stool and some
9-volts to your parents or older
neighbor’s and ask if you can
refresh their smoke alarms,”
he said
Senior SAFE
Saugus is one of 242 fire departments
across the state that
have grant-funded Senior SAFE
programs. Seniors who need
help testing, maintaining or replacing
smoke alarms should
contact the Fire Department
or the Saugus Senior Center for
assistance.
“Four out of every 10 of the
people who have died in fires
last year were over 65 … We
want our seniors to be safe from
fire in their own homes,” Ostroskey
said.
The $2,600 Senior Safe grant
that Saugus received for the
current fiscal year enables the
Fire Department to provide fire
and life safety education to the
town’s elderly.
Seniors have a high risk of
dying in a fire. Fire and burns
risks for seniors include cooking,
smoking, home oxygen
use, and electrical and heating
dangers.
Senior SAFE also aims to improve
safety in senior housing.
Programs include the following:
• smoke and carbon monoxide
alarm installation
• testing and replacing batteries
•
installation of clearly displayed
house street numbers
• heating limiting devices on
stoves
• in-hood stove fire extinguishers
•
night-lights
Education is key to improving
the safety of seniors at
home. Senior SAFE creates
partnerships between agencies
that serve seniors and fire
departments. Together, these
agencies collaborate on local
fire and life safety education
programs.

RHS senior Poetry Out Loud champ lauded by school board
By Tara Vocino
P
oetry Out Loud champion
Shiara Pyrrhus recently
shared her poem and story
with the School Committee.
A senior at Revere High
School, Pyrrhus read “Haiti,”
by Jennifer Rahim, which describes
the devastating earthquake
that struck the island
nation nine years ago. The
poem referenced that the will
of the citizens outweighed
the destruction caused by the
earthquake.
“For the Earth has spoken, to
you, her magma Creole,” Pyrrhus
said during her reading.
“Full-throated syllables, uprising
from deep down, an honest
elocution — rudimentary
sound: guttural nouns, forthright,
strong, the rumbled conviction
of verbs unfettered by
language has a connection to
the earth. I was really excited
when I found the poem and
that I was able to do it justice.”
Tye said Pyrrhus’s performance
was lovely to listen to.
Student Ava Hawkes was the
first runner-up and Alessandra
Santos was the second runnerup.
According to Poetry Out

reticence, as the first poetry of
creation.”
Following the reading,
School Committee Vice Chairman
Carol Tye asked Pyrrhus
why she chose that poem. Pyrrhus
said it was because she
felt helpless living in the United
States at the time of the disaster,
having immigrated to
the United States when she
was eight.
“So often, people see the
negativity of poverty there,
but it has the ability to create
beauty from destruction,”
Pyrrhus said. “The combined
beauty of the Haitian/Creole
